I'd love to do more with Pages, but I'd need Ann's training. Last I
remember looking, it was over $100, which though I find that a fair price,
right now, I simply just cannot afford it. I'd be willing to pay in
installments, but I highly doubt that would be possible.
Ann, if you're reading this, let me know, and maybe we could work something
out. I'd need quite a bit of help though, as aside jotting down a small
little text file, doing the more high end word processing is not something I
am very familiar with. I'm quite good at teaching myself things, but I'm
just not totally sure how far I'd get with it on my own.
Chris.

Subject: Re: New laptop.
Hi Alex,
Thanks for writing in.
I mainly need the new machine for Office work.
Haven't quite gotten my head around Pages for the Mac yet.
I got quite excited when Office for Mac became accessible but honestly
it's been a big disappointment ever since.
If I need to do any serious editing for documents I fire up Windows
through BootCamp.
This machine uses flash memory but an upgrade at home might void the
warranty.
Yours truly,
Sadam Ahmed

Your call. I assume you are familiar with both, given that you've had a
Mac for two years but still know Windows. Macs are more expensive, but,
well, they're Macs, with all the advantages that includes. Do you have
specific questions about one platform or the other which you aren't sure
about but would help your decision?
As Jonathan said, too, a 2013 machine is pretty new. I'm on a 2012 Air,
and about to bring my 2011 Mini back to life, and both work fine. If you
have a mechanical drive in that Mac, that might explain a lot. Consider
buying a solid state drive upgrade for your existing machine, instead of a
whole new laptop. It's harder to replace hard drives in newer Macs, but it
can be done with the right tools and parts.

That system is fairly new. If you can upgrade memory or drive you should
get another 2 or 3 years out of it. I think the only networking he really
that upgraded is Bluetooth 4.2 in the new systems.

Hi fellow list members,
Seeking your advice.
My 2013 late MacBook Pro is getting rather long in the tooth and I am
looking at upgrading.
The question is do I purchase a new Mac or heaven forbid get a PC?
I don't mind Windows 10 but I would need to resurrect JAWS license or
perhaps use NVDA.
Would be using the new computer for office related tasks and XL.
As always your help is appreciated.
Yours truly,
Sadam Ahmed
